rewind. the following is an update I wrote 6 months ago but never sent. it was just after graduation from the last DTS staffed by Anna, Lito, Tony, Karen, Daveed, Mar and myself... just a reminder for myself, about to begin another 5 months again, what its like to come out on the other end with an overwhelming feeling of it all being beyond worth it.
wow. I can't believe it. 5 months, again, have passed by. another dts... 14 more students graduating from YWAM San
Jose Discipleship Training School. just like myself, one year ago. this time, like most know, I had the privilege
of joining the staff team however... theres a lot more they're walking away with than just a certificate
of completion. during these last days of saying our goodbyes... I was overwhelmed with feeling such a mix of emotions..
joy. sadness... a sence of victory.these guys are walking away with so much more than they begun with. so much more
revalation and understanding of who God is... who they are... and the role they play in making Him known.
they've grown in intimacy in their personal relationships with their Creator and leave with changed hearts...
hearts turned to Him. ready for the next step, hungry for more of life and eager to hear and be lead by the voice
of the one who has called them out and awakened them to the abundant life He came to give. even if it had been just
one, being able to see this transformation is a reward beyond words. it gives me such joy to see other young
passionate leaders stepping out into the callings God has on their lives... knowing that He created each of them
...each of us...individual and unique and each of us have a unique way and role in impacting this world for the one
who created it... the one who is longing for His people to be awakend to the love they were created for... the
relationship we are created for. It was so hard to say goodbye to the family God has blessed me with at YWAM San Jose
and it hurts my heart right now to be separated from them... I trust I will see them again... but still, my heart
longs to be with them... how much more could God's heart yearn and ache to be with the ones He loves so so much.
and yet... we don't have to catch a plane to be with Him... or Him with us...He is right here, waiting. waiting,
and longing for us to enter in again... to return to our first love. He wants us to be in His presence..
His desire is for us. how beautiful it is to experience this love...
I am my beloved's,
and his desire is for me.
